Final answer:

The unlimited movies option from a video streaming service will be a better value than paying $1.99 per movie after watching more than 8 movies in a month.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks after how many movies would the unlimited option from a video streaming service be a better value compared to paying per movie.

The unlimited movies option is $15 per month versus $1.99 per individual movie.

To determine after how many movies the unlimited option becomes more cost-effective, we can set up an inequality where 1.99 times the number of movies (n) is greater than $15.

1.99n > 15

Now, divide both sides by 1.99 to solve for n:

n > 15 / 1.99

n > 7.54

Since you cannot watch a fraction of a movie, we round up to the nearest whole number.

n > 8

Therefore, the unlimited option is a better value after watching more than 8 movies in a month.
